Former N.J. Gov. Chris Christie, who helped with Trump's debate preparation, is the latest with close Trump contact to test positive for COVID-19
Friday, hours after he announced that he and first lady Melania Trump have been infected with COVID-19.
Trump announced his positive test early Friday morning, sending Washington and the rest of the country into fresh turmoil just a month before the presidential election. Hours earlier, the president said Hope Hicks, one of his closest advisers with whom he had recently traveled,White House officials said earlier that Trump was feeling"fatigued" but in good spirits.
Questions remain on who the president has been in contact with in the days prior to his test and who have been infected with the virus. A negative test means only that the person was not infected at the time of testing. Because the virus' incubation period can be up to 14 days, a negative test earlier in that time frame does not mean a person was not infected.
